gomery Humane Society that one of these bills should be passed : Now, therefore 
be it

S. 3088 or H.R. 1937 ; and be it further

Re H.R. 1937. 
Hon. Kenneth Roberts, 
Chairman, Subcommittee on Health and Safety, House Committee on Interstate 
and Foreign Commerce, House Office Building, Washington, D.C. 
Dear Mb. Roberts : The Business & Professional Women of All Souls Church 
want to go on record as being unanimously in favor of the above bill which pro- 
vides for humane treatment of animals used for laboratory experimentation. 
I, personally, have worked in the cancer field for 24 years, and am fully aware 
of the valuable contributions which have been made to medicine through animal 
experimentation. But too many experimenters are utterly indifferent to the 
needless suffering they inflict upon their mute and helpless subjects, and make 
no effort to provide any decent care for them, leaving them wretchedly caged 
and starving.
